Don't miss out on this rare opportunity to own a maintenance free condo in central Florida's premier 55+ active adult community, Lake Ashton Golf Club. This second level condo has its own private elevator in addition to the normal stairway. Upon arrival, the paver walk and drive leads to the covered front entry. The welcoming foyer is at the base of the stairway and also has the doorway to the attached extra deep garage. The private elevator is located in the garage area. Also in the garage is a storage room with additional under the stair storage space. The garage gets natural light from the windows in the garage door that is operated by an opener. Once inside the condo unit, the openness of this 2 bedroom and 2 bath layout will catch your attention. The kitchen, dining and living room flow together, providing a most usable and flexible space. The kitchen is at the front of the unit and is brightened by the arched window that is located over the sink. The kitchen features better appliances including a French door refrigerator, Corian countertops and lots of cabinetry with 42" uppers and crown molding. The flexible dining area is adjacent and can be arranged in a variety of ways. The central focus is the large living room with its ceiling fan with light and the triple slider that opens to the covered and screened lanai. Opening the sliders and the kitchen window makes cross ventilation a "breeze". The covered and screened lanai is on the north side of the home which greatly increases its usability. The elevated view from the lanai is of the large pond that abuts the building, other ponds and canals, nature preserve, woods and 3 holes of Lake Ashton's East Course.
